PEANUTS 2018-2019 MONTHLY/WEEKLY PLANNING CALENDAR

The first several pages of the PEANUTS 2018-2019 MONTHLY/WEEKLY PLANNING CALENDAR

contain monthly postings for July 2018 – December 2019. This is followed by the actual weekly planner part of the calendar. Although they are smaller and in black and white, there is a comic for each week of the year. The space given for each day of the week is about the same as it was in the old calendars. At the end of the calendar there is a place for contacts and notes. The calendar also has an elastic/bungee place holder. The colors of the calendar are two shades of blue; I'm not sure the exact names but my guess is aquamarine and cerulean. The colors are featured prominently on the cover in polka dots.  Overall, a nice little monthly/weekly planning calendar.

GAME OF THRONES 2019 WALL CALENDAR

The GAME OF THRONES 2019 WALL CALENDAR features 12 characters from the HBO series in a brief snapshot. The characters featured are:  January – Arya Stark; February – Tormund Giantsbane; March – Tyrion Lannister; April – Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish; May – Daenerys Targaryen; June – The Hound; July – Brienne of Tarth; August – Samwell Tarly; September – Jaime Lannister; October – Bronn; November – Jon Snow; December – Sansa Stark.  Great gift for any fan of the HBO series, particularly since the final season is scheduled to air in 2019.

CHURCH SIGNS 2019 DAY-TO-DAY CALENDAR

CHURCH SIGNS 2019 DAY-TO-DAY CALENDAR is a "daily" calendar (Saturdays & Sundays are combined into one day) that includes a short saying that might be seen on a church sign. Some of the sayings are humorous ("Church is the only place where you can arrive late and get the best seats in the house!") while others are meant to provoke a thought ("Conscience is God's built-in warning system."). With that said, none of the sayings are humorous enough to get a belly laugh or serious enough to actually alter someone's belief. They aren't intended to be deep. Like most messages on church signs, they are supposed to be used as an ice-breaker or attention-getter. The sayings are pithy and mostly forgettable, but that doesn't make them any less valuable for what they are intended. Makes a nice little gift for someone who has a religious bent of the Christian persuasion.

THOMAS KINKADE: THE DISNEY DREAMS COLLECTION 2019 WALL CALENDAR

The THOMAS KINKADE: THE DISNEY DREAMS COLLECTION 2019 WALL CALENDAR features thirteen major illustrations from Disney animated movies, but in background settings of a Thomas Kinkade painting. Some of the paintings were done by Thomas Kinkade while all the rest were done by Thomas Kinkade Studios. The movies featured in the calendar are BAMBI, TANGLED,  BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, PETER PAN, THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, WINNIE THE POOH, CINDERELLA, FANTASIA, THE LITTLE MERMAID, THE JUNGLE BOOK, DUMBO, ALADDIN, and LADY AND THE TRAMP. There are 13 films featured because there is an illustration for September – December 2018 all on way page.  Also, on each of the months, besides the main painting for the month, there is a smaller illustration located on the date section of the calendar; for instance, March 2019 features Peter Pan and the smaller illustration if of The Lost Boys.

 

Why I enjoy many things DISNEY, I have to admit that the overall aesthetic of the THOMAS KINKADE: THE DISNEY DREAMS COLLECTION 2019 WALL CALENDAR is too much for me. I enjoy some of the paintings, such as September – December 2018 (Bambi), March (Peter Pan), and October (Dumbo). However, the paintings that I don't like (such as July – Fantasia) the paintings look almost photoshopped to me and are just; it's just too much. However, I realize that not many will share my distaste for these images and the calendar will probably be a hit for many Disney and Kinkade fans.
